    Went for a family going away meal. Nice sized location, street parking. Multiple different areas to sit and a nice bar section. The menu had a nice variety of options. I chose a small great white pizza and my son got steak and cheese hoagie . Both were delicious.

    I can't speak for the atmosphere or service as we got takeout, but the food was incredible! I got the great white pizza and had a slice of the pepperoni/hot honey/ricotta pizza someone else had and it was phenomenal! The great white had a nice tang from the roasted tomatoes and I loved how much sweetness came through on the hot honey pizza. The only thing missing was their wings because I love those from Mellow as well. This experience, like all of our others, didn't disappoint!

    Loved that there are multiple veggie options, they even allow half half pizzas to try different combos. Pizza was fresh and flavors were great The restaurant is loud but energetic. We brought our infant and she did wonderfully in the space. Our waiter checked on us multiple times and was great overall. Will def be back!

    We went to Mellow Mushroom with a large work group, and everything was fantastic. The staff handled our big party smoothly -- service was quick, friendly, and well-organized. The chicken wings were perfectly cooked and flavorful, and the basil tomato pizza was fresh, cheesy, and packed with great taste. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food, and the relaxed atmosphere made it an easy place to unwind after work. Definitely a spot I'd recommend for both group outings and casual dinners.

    Totally jealous I don't have a Mellow Mushroom near my home in Miami, FL. This place is a trippy, dope vibe with a large variety of pizzas (and more). My pizza was delicious!

    Had a very positive experience dining at Mellow Mushroom when our son visited. When we ordered he told the server he had a gluten allergy, to which the server replied, "thank you so much for letting me know." The restaurant offers a gluten free crust and there are several pre-selected topping combos from the menu (Kosmic Karma, for example) that can be prepared "certified gluten free." Or, you can choose from their list of gluten free toppings and build your own pizza. On their website they note that they use gloves, aprons and a special prep area for their gluten free offerings. Much appreciated! Our son ordered the Mighty Meaty and found it to be quite tasty. I ordered a holiday drink, the Merry Mule, which included cranberry syrup, house made lime syrup, and Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, and it was festive and delicious. My Great White Pizza was tasty along with the smaller size Enlightened Spinach Salad. My husband got a calzone, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Great food and service, no complaints. We were hungry so only got a pic of my drink! Cheers!

    We've talked about visiting Mellow Mushroom for a while now. Since my wife and I were both off work for the Labor Day weekend, we decided to chose a restaurant in downtown Winston. We found street parking in the area and were actually initially headed to another restaurant/bar. We approached the intersection where Mellow Mushroom is located and decided to stop in. The interior decor and feel reminds us a lot of Kaleidoscope Pizzeria & Pub in Medford, Oregon, which we absolutely love and haven't been to in several years. Kaleidoscope has a Grateful Dead theme which also includes a lot of tie dye. The interior of Mellow Mushroom is similar in many ways and is fun and welcoming. We were seated promptly, provided menus and offered drinks. As we perused the menu and did some research we were surprised to learn they were founded in 1974 in Atlanta, and have approximately 200 locations throughout the US, primarily in the Southeast. Our server brought our drinks and we asked him for his recommendations and inquired about the size of the pizza's. He was friendly and helpful and gave us a few more minutes to make our selections. Upon his return, we placed our orders. My wife was being good and decided to try one of their salads. I knew I had to try one of their pizza's and was debating between the 10 inch and the 14 inch because I was confident that I wanted to have leftovers. In the end, my wife chose the Enlightened Spinach Salad with grilled chicken and I ordered the 10 inch Mighty Meaty with extra sauce. My wife used the restroom while we waited and confirmed that it was clean and well stocked. Our meals arrived in a timely fashion and looked incredible. We were very impressed. We both enjoyed the experience and food. We kept commenting about the similarities to Kaleidoscope. We also liked the street side of their dining area which allows the doors to open to the sidewalk area and provides an outdoor sidewalk dining experience along 4th Street. It was a good experience, however, I am a pizza connoisseur and although this was good pizza, I would not consider it great. However, we saw other items such as the calzone and various sandwiches and they looked delicious. My wife also really enjoyed her salad and we want to come back and try additional items on the menu, we would also like to visit some of their other locations as well.

    Very cool spot downtown, with seriously fun vibes, good food, great drinks & service, and awesome artwork on the walls. Had a Guinness, a small great white, 4/20 pizza bites (w/beer cheese) & a medium chicken Q (BBQ pizza). Crust was awesome. Highly recommended. (Guinness is over chilled, but 'tiz a minor flaw.)

    I love some mellow mushroom pizza. Honestly their apps and sandwiches are always delicious as well.

    LOVE the theme here, and my favorite pizza is, you guessed it, MUSHROOM! Enjoy coming here on busy nights, feels like a college town hangout somehow and keeps me young!

    Small Greek salad and cheese pizza
    Elisabeth M.

    Food was more than decent - I had a half salad that was fresh and tasty with decent dressing and lots of veggies. I also got a small cheese pizza which I took home half home. Tasted best when hot. Not any identifiable type of pizza but good. Not much is open downtown on Mondays so a good option on a Monday night

    Highly Recommend! Mellow Mushroom is our favorite pizza spot The pretzel bites are amazing as well!

    OK... I have to admit... This review is coming after at least 10 trips to mellow mushroom. Honestly, I would never review Pizza Hut, so I never thought to review the Mushroom. That's not fair to the Mushroom because this is not on the same planet as Pizza Hut. The menu here is varied. That's great because sometimes not everybody wants pizza. So if you're with the group and only some of you want pizza while the rest, want other things, there's more than enough on the menu to satisfy everyone in your party On one of my visits I got meatballs, bruschetta and beer. On other visits, I have gotten slices of pizza... And on others whole pies. Regardless of what you get, the food is going to be really good. I think the mushroom pizza is one of the top five pizza experiences I've had in life. They also serve up a pretty good burger. I am a bit of a pizza snob, and I hate when somebody screws up pizza because it seems so easy to do The people at mellow mushroom know what they're doing. If you're in downtown Winston and you're hungry... You can't go wrong by going here.

My husband was assaulted inside the bar, and the people responsible left before police arrived. To make matters worse, we were told the cameras only livestream and do not record, which was incredibly frustrating because it meant there was no recorded footage available to help identify the people involved. Everyone deserves to enjoy a night out without worrying about their safety. Based on our experience, I would choose a bar with better security measures and recorded surveillance instead.

A few people were playing card games at one table, others were hanging out near the pool table, and a handful were just vibing to the music at the bar. They have an extensive beer list and some fun New Orleans-style tropical cocktails. I was happy to see an Aperol Spritz on the menu--and it was made properly, so I ended up ordering a second one. It seemed like a few friends of the bartender came in and started picking the music, which shifted into a mix of dance tracks and rap. The vibe fizzled out a bit after that, so we decided to head out. Overall, it could be fun little spot, we will check back later. If you're in the area and miss Hoots Brewery, definitely check out Bar Nola. I can only imagine how great their Mardi Gras party must be or Super Bowl day. On the other end of the building, there's a huge open space with beautiful hardwood floors and a another bar. It looks like the kind of venue where you could easily host a party with a live band--maybe they even rent it out for weddings or holiday events, though I'm not sure if it's officially part of the bar. There's also a large outdoor area with a TV and an uncovered bar, but since it was cold last night, everyone stayed inside. It seems like you can take your drinks out into the alleyway between the two buildings. Definitely a beautiful area to be when the weather is nice.
